Austin Divorce Lawyer

A task force organized by the State Bar Association of North Dakota has proposed several reforms to the state’s existing family law system.

Under the terms of the proposal, which is aimed at addressing concerns about child custody and visitation rights, divorcing parents would be obligated to submit parenting plans to the court for approval before the divorce can be finalized. Disputes after the divorce occurs would be handled by a “parenting coordinator,” a type of mediator whose decisions would be binding.

Potentially loaded terminology such as “custodial parent” and “visitation schedule” would also be changed under the proposal.

Navigating the family law system is difficult without experienced and professional legal representation. Call Austin child custody lawyers Slater & Kennon today at 512-472-2431.
